How do I moderate a topic?

A moderated discussion allows the instructor to review and approve a discussion posting before the participants may view the post. When a discussion is moderated, each message submitted by a participant must be reviewed and approved before other participants may read them.

Go to Forums.

Select the Forums tool from the Tool Menu in your site.

Click Topic Settings.

Click Topic Settings to moderate a particular Topic.

Check the box next to Moderate Topic.

Select the Moderate Topic option in the settings and then scroll down and click Save.

View moderated topic in forums list.

Moderated topics will have the text (Moderated) shown next to the title of the topic.
